Nagarjuna’s dream finally comes true

March 23, 2012

Veteran star Nagarjuna has been dreaming of doing a film in the combination of all the Akkineni heroes. Ever since Naga Chaitanya made debut as an actor, Nag has been in search of finding a script that fits in Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Chaitanya and him. Looks like Nagarjuna has finally found one to fulfill his long lasting dream.

Director Vikram Kumar of Ishq fame recently met Nagarjuna and narrated a script that brings the ‘moodu tarala herolu’ of Akkineni family together. Nag is mighty impressed with the script that he readily accepted to do the film. He will be producing the film on Annapurna studios banner. Needless to say that it would be a treat to three generations of Akkineni fans.

Earlier Krishna Vamsi narrated a story to do a film in this combination, but he couldn’t come up with a good second half and that film never took off. Vikram Kumar, who proved his mettle with sensible film Ishq, came up with an almost bounded script. Although this film is not yet announced officially, hero Nitin gave a hint that the film is definitely on. He is very happy for his director.

Allari Naresh under Pressure !

March 23, 2012

Common notion in Tollywood is Allari Naresh is a safe bet minimum guarantee hero who is very feasible to small producers. He is almost on run till mid 2010 with up to 10 movies releasing per year. A movie with Naresh can be made with 3-4 crores budget and is guaranteed with minimum openings. However, scene reversed off late. His Aha na Pellanta, Madatha Kaja bombed at the box office. His latest movie Nuvva Nena could not even manage to get a quarter of his earlier movies.

His position in Tollywood came under severe threat with advent of Sunil as hero. Our sources in Tollywood says that Allari Naresh was crestfallen with his father’s death. He had become irregular coming to shootings and is also a little disinterested in movie making. Hence, producers are looking at other alternatives like Sunil who are in the same league.

From a couple of weeks, the store remained closed and the front display boards are getting removed.

11 years of drought ends for Pawan Kalyan!

March 22, 2012

Power star Pawan Kalyan has been out of form for eleven years. After delivering blockbuster with Khushi, Pawan Kalyan never managed to repeat that feat until now. Except for Jalsa, which was labeled as a hit due to the huge opening it got, none of Pawan’s films in these eleven years clicked at the box office.

Pawan fans have been patiently waiting for their demigod to deliver the goods. And if the buzz has to be believed, the wait and the drought are finally over for Pawan Kalyan and his fans. Yes, Gabbar Singh, Pawan’s summer release is carrying super positive reports. Director Harish Shankar took the main content of Dabangg and added more fun and power to it. He made sure that there is no single dull moment in the film, as per the sources.

This is the best movie of Pawan Kalyan after Kushi is what they say. Gabbar Singh has enough to enthrall the masses as well as the multiplex junta it seems. Audio has come out really well and the dialogues are going to create a sensation. Let’s hope that this report turns true and prove Pawan’s capabilities at the box office. We have seen glimpses of it at times and it is time for the real dhamaka. Fasten your seatbelts folks!

Ram Charan banking on heroine star power

March 22, 2012

Ram Charan’s Bollywood debut is just few days away from now. He decided to do Zanjeer remake as his debut film in Hindi. Director Apoorva Lakhia believes that Charan could be the new ‘angry young man’ of Bollywood. This film is going to be made simultaneously in Telugu and with a whopping budget of 70 crore rupees.

With so much money at stake, it is going to be a huge gamble for Zanjeer makers as Charan doesn’t have any image or star power to shoulder the film at the box office. So the producer and director are trying to get the padding right. A star heroine is compulsory for this film to draw the attention of majority audience.

They have tried to rope in Deepika Padukone as the female lead, but the actress is too busy to adjust dates for Zanjeer. The latest we hear is the makers of this movie are in talks with another top actress Priyanka Chopra. She is yet to give a nod to the movie. Zanjeer won’t make it to sets until or unless they find a bankable star heroine.

Superb planning and strategy of Mahesh Babu

March 22, 2012

Most of the Telugu audiences believe that Mahesh Babu can rule Bollywood with his extremely handsome looks that will appeal to Bollywood audience. Even directors from B town read the potential of Mahesh Babu and approached him to introduce him to Bollywood. But the actor didn’t show interest in those offers as his first and foremost preference is for Telugu cinema.

However, Mahesh Babu isn’t completely against doing Hindi films, but what the superstar believes is a strong foundation to be laid for a southern hero to announce his entry in Hindi cinema. Mahesh is already laying roads for it. His latest Thumbs Up deal as the National ambassador is linked to Mahesh Babu’s future plans. Mahesh replaced Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar as Thumbs Up brand ambassador and he has already got enough attention by doing so.

Not just the media, but people of North India have been noticing Mahesh Babu now. Mahesh is in plans to sign up few more ‘exclusive’ deals with popular products in the near future. After reaching that familiar note, Mahesh will surely attempt his first Bolly flick. Few kids who are about to make Bollywood debut without any proper ground prepared should learn from the mighty Mahesh Babu!

Small-Film Killing RaNa’s Dreams

March 21, 2012

Tollywood’s macho man is dreaming a lot these days to become next hunk-cum-lover boy of Tollywood. But his filmy dreams are being shattered by so many competitive elements and here is one such small-film.

Many times in Tollywood small-flicks have given a stringent competition to star-flicks both in commercial feasibility and popularity. At present, one movie is doing this job. Titled ‘Ee Rojullo’, the movie’s trailers and 30 second ads have become viral on the web. Even on TVs, these bits of ‘Ee Rojullo’ are shocking families for their volatile content about youth and their behaviors. Slated to be a love story with reality touch, the movie is directed by debutant Maruthi and is made on a shoe-string budget of 50 lakhs. With mouth talk spreading like wild fire for this movie, RaNa’s ‘Naa Ishtam’ is getting comparatively less attention, say observers.

This said to be worrying our Daggubati hunk a lot as he is dreaming to rise as a big-commercial hero with this movie.

War between Chiru fans and Pawan fans

March 21, 2012

The reports of rift between Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan is now leading to a war-like situation between their fan base. The fans of both these heroes were indulging in mud-slinging acts.

“Without Chiru, there is no Pawan Kalyan. He is currently enjoying the hard earned fan base of Chiru, which he has built over the past three decades. One shouldn’t forget the roots. It’s time for Pawan to come clean and clear the air. Only then the controversy will end,” said a hardcore Chiru Fan.

However, Pawan fans have a thing or two to say here. “Pawan has his own identity. Chiru lost his credibilty after his entry into the political arena due to several factors (Neglecting fans during 2009 elections, reports of selling party tickets and merger with Congress). On the other hand, Pawan stood by his word that he would quit politics completely if PRP fails to win atleast 65 seats in the 2009 polls. There lies the difference between the duo,” said a Pawan fan.

The differences in the Mega camp will neither benefit the heroes nor the fans. Let’s see where this is gonna end!!!

Chiranjeevi to go Rajinikanth’s way!

March 21, 2012

Megastar Chiranjeevi has been facing one question from his fans and media whenever he participates in a film related function. “When is your 150th film?” is the question that has been haunting Chiranjeevi for over a period of time. Chiru is neither declining nor declaring about the talk of his landmark film. He is giving the same reasons time and again, but is not coming up with a solid reply.

If the buzz from the film town has to be believed, Megastar is likely to do a ‘performance capture’ film as his 150th movie. Taking a cue out of his contemporary, the superstar Rajinikanth, our megastar is toying with the idea of doing a film in Kochadaiyan style. For this all that Chiru has to do is spend some time with the experts who will capture his reactions, walk and body language.

Chiranjeevi need not go in front of the camera and strain his body physically at this age. Everything will be graphically done and Chiru can happily get along with his political works, while the film is under progress. However, this film will only take shape if Rajinikanth’s movie clicks at the box office. Let us see if someone goes and impresses Chiranjeevi to do the greasepaint before he decides to take up an animated movie!
